North Korea’s Hackers Are At It Again – Because Apparently, The World’s Not Secure Enough

Oh bloody brilliant. The digital cockroaches from North Korea have once again decided to raid everyone’s crypto wallets like it’s Black Friday at a data center fire sale. According to the article, those government-backed cyber-leeches managed to nick about $2.02 billion in 2025, making them the undisputed heavyweight champs of crypto thievery. Fantastic. Just what the global economy needed, another reminder that blockchain security is about as solid as a wet tissue.

These smug little bastards aren’t phoning it in either – they’re using sophisticated-as-hell phishing campaigns, fake recruiters, and god knows what else to worm their way into companies and steal digital gold. It’s like watching a pack of rabid raccoons take apart a trash can, except instead of garbage bags it’s DeFi platforms, centralized exchanges, and any fool dumb enough to click a “job offer” from an email that smells like kimchi and malware.

And where does all that stolen crypto go? Straight into funding North Korea’s “strategic programs” — because apparently, missiles don’t build themselves. So while everyone else is busy crying about wallet recovery phrases, these digital pirates are busy breaking new records for cyber-scumbaggery. Honestly, at this point, if you still think your crypto is “safe,” you deserve to lose it. May your tokens rest in blockchain purgatory.

In short: North Korea’s hackers once again made the global security community look like a bunch of muppets, picking the digital pockets of the internet to the tune of billions, while the rest of the world collectively shrugged and refreshed Coinbase to “check the dip.” Bloody marvellous.

Reminds me of the time some idiot intern thought it was clever to mine crypto on the office servers. He wondered why the aircon sounded like a dying cow and the lights flickered every time he pressed “run.” I let him keep mining — just long enough for the fire alarm to trigger. Haven’t seen him since. Anyway, stay paranoid.
